Question

The ratio of students who play musical instruments to students who play sports is 3:30 if the there are 40 students who plays spots how lany stunders play musical instruments

Answer 1

To find the number of students who play musical instruments, we can use the ratio given.

Let's call the number of students who play musical instruments "x".

The ratio of students who play musical instruments to students who play sports is 3:30, which can also be written as 3/30.

So, we can set up the following equation:

3/30 = x/40

To solve for x, we can cross multiply and simplify:

3 * 40 = 30 * x

120 = 30 * x

Dividing both sides of the equation by 30, we get:

x = 120/30

x = 4

Therefore, there are 4 students who play musical instruments.
